For those keeping score it's currently Tottenham 4-0 Manchester.
Played four, won four, scored twelve, conceded four. Can we play them every week?

We’ve metaphorically slapped our bollocks on their heads.

Which funnily enough, is probably something Solanke and Kulusevski could genuinely do to Lisandro Martinez.

I thought that he was one of the players that would suit Amorim down to the ground, but he had a mare.
Very early days, of course. Summed him up when he hurried Son up on the corner and he scored! <laugh>

I find it hilarious Utd fans call him “The Butcher”. Only thing that midget butchers is trying to chop down the grass on the pitch in order to move through it.

I doubt that Pat had to play out from the back but he was very good at kicking from hand , Ange would have benched him

Not a good look for you, on both counts.
Why...I was quite clear about it in my original post. I think it quite reasonable to believe that the Club pay for the best data available and then choose tactics to optimise performance based on analysing the data. Since I neither have access to the data nor the time to do the analysis I can only make a judgement call.
 
Whatever the reason for playing out from the back, it is bound to lead to occasionally mess ups like last night's. That's fine if it has greater benefits.
One of those errors was by the ref, though: Zirkzee was in the area ahead of their second goal, so if VAR was operating it likely would have been chalked off

You have only opinion/belief on this topic, and nothing more.

The goal kick rule is really weirdly written, though. Should obviously be a free-kick, but might not be.
